Volume 10 Zion, the First Capital of the World 03 Palace Night Talk 01
By the time Spencer came back to inform him that things were ready, it was late at night. The group left Warcraft and Mark at Spencer's house and set off for the palace alone.
Entering the palace is also entering Bruce's own home, where he has played since he was a child and has grown up, whether the soldiers have patrol routes or hidden paths that no one else knows, there is no place that Bruce is not familiar with. Under his leadership, the group walked with ease, avoiding the patrolling soldiers with ease.
Xu Zheng didn't come to the Samus Palace very often, but he could still feel that there was almost no change in the palace, there were no additional patrol guards, there was no tense and unsettling atmosphere, and the atmosphere he felt was still quiet and peaceful, and everything was not much different from when he left.
Passing through the numerous gardens and courtyards, passing by the continuous walkways and water pavilions, the group came to the main hall of the palace safe and sound. The lights were still on, and as before, a hard-working monarch could not help but fight late into the night with all kinds of paperwork.
Seeing the light, Bruce looked excited, but his steps began to hesitate. Xu Zheng and Jimmy scurried out like cats, knocking out one of the guards guarding the door, holding them by the body and letting them slowly slide to the wall. When the two retreated, Bruce was still hesitating, as if he was homesick.
"Blue?" Xu Zheng called softly.
Bruce took a deep breath to steady his emotions, and with a wave of his hand, the five knights, including Spencer, dispersed the guards, and reached out and gently pushed open the heavy door.
In the main hall inside the door, candles are lit, and there are also magic balls of light that illuminate the light. The moment the door was pushed open, the cold air pouring in from outside the door blew the candlelight in the hall flickering, and the person who was in front of the table in front of the approving document suddenly felt it, raised his head and looked at the door.
The two sides looked at each other, and their eyes met in the air. Both of their eyes flashed, but their expressions did not change. Samuel Cézanne glanced at Bruce. Continuing to bury his head in correcting the official documents, Bruce silently walked slowly to the main hall and stood still. Then Xu Zheng and Jimmy came in, and when they saw this situation, they were silent, and they stood on both sides of Bruce in a muffled voice.
Finish the last official business. Cézanne threw away the pen, raised his head, and said calmly: "The pen invented by Xu Zheng is better than the original." You're back?"
"It's back. ”
The questions were calm, and the answers were also calm, without Xu Zheng's imagination of treacherous turmoil, full of homely conversations. Xu Zheng had the leisure to look at the regent at this time.
Compared to when we first met, this pseudonym is Muse Cézanne. The middle-aged man who was actually called Samuel Cézanne did not change much, except that his clothes were more ornate and his bearing became more solemn and imposing. Belch...... And the place to sit is not a humble carriage, but under the ass is Dane's ornate throne. He looked younger than Dane. The two eyebrows are thicker and the lips are thinner, making them appear two points less benevolent than Dane. Be more ruthless and serious. In addition to this, the two brothers have an eight-point resemblance.
"Sit down and talk. Cézanne said.
Bruce sat down beside him and motioned for Xu Zheng and Jimmy to sit down as well.
After the three of them sat down, Cézanne picked up the pen again and played with it in his hand, and there was silence between the four for a while before Cézanne asked, "Bruce, do you believe me?"
"Believe. Bruce said calmly. "From the beginning to the end, I never dared to doubt Uncle Huang. ”
Cézanne looked at Bruce intently for a long time. Finally showed a smile: "This is what I admire most about my brother, he is not only very able to give birth, but also educates all his children very well." Bruce, you're good, and I can clearly see that the royal demeanor that belongs only to Samuel shines brightly in you. ”
"Prizes. Bruce's tone was still calm.
Cézanne looked at Bruce fixedly, and said, "I do want the throne, this is a fact that I can't argue." But I really didn't grab it. ”
"I believe it. Bruce said: "Because you don't need to rob, just say it, and your father will give you everything." ”
"yes. Cézanne smiled: "That's why I never have the heart to snatch, what I can get when I reach out, what to do with grabbing it?"
Jimmy opened his mouth and hesitated, "Then what do you mean by sending Rob to guard the teleportation array?"
Cézanne glanced at Jimmy and said, "You're still not growing up." The matter of my regency has never leaked out, and you have come back in a beautiful way, and you have come out to greet me that I am not my brother, so what do you think about others?"
"Uncle Huang gave Rob an order directly?"
Cézanne nodded: "That man is a piece of wood, he will only do things according to orders and will not think too much, he will do this most appropriately." It's just that I didn't expect you to be so difficult, my original intention was to let him control you and let you enter the palace quietly through other channels. Now you can be regarded as quietly entering the palace, the method is different, and the result is the same. ”
Bruce suddenly remembered something and asked, "The third brother doesn't know either?"
Of course he does. It's just that my brother is missing, and I will be the regent for the time being, and if this matter spreads, it will definitely cause turmoil in the whole Cheng'an, and the result of my discussion with him is to hide this matter and wait until there is the whereabouts of the fleeing monarch. ”
Bruce was stunned: "However, the third brother's subordinates informed me ......"
Cézanne frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Someone, inform Prince Forun that Bruce and Xu Zheng have returned to the imperial capital." ”
Xu Zheng rubbed his hands and smiled dryly: "Emperor...... Uncle Huang, your men were knocked unconscious by me and Jimmy...... Afraid that they will make a mistake, the two of us will not be easy to start, and it is estimated that we will sleep for a while. ”
Cézanne turned his head to look at Xu Zheng for a while, and said with a smile: "You do things...... Is...... It's too far from the name of the Star of the Imperial Capital. ”
Xu Zheng laughed dryly for a long time, ran out with a cigarette and asked Ajiaxi to inform Fu Lun, and then ran back and sat down.
After a while, Foran came panting, and when he saw Bruce and Xu Zheng, he shouted excitedly: "Big brother, Xu Zheng, you two are finally back!"
There was no time for the brothers to gossip, Bruce hurriedly asked about Forun's subordinates to summon the message, and Forun's eyes widened: "I don't! This kind of thing will attract unnecessary suspicion, and Uncle Huang and I are trying our best to suppress this news and prevent it from spreading, how can I let my subordinates inform you." Father doesn't know where to go, and Uncle Huang is not a usurper, why should I inform you? Things are busy at the Cape of Good Hope, and I know that you are managing this, so why would I bother you. ”
Xu Zheng's heart was like lightning, and he suddenly figured out something, and said softly and affirmatively: "Rex!"
Bruce also figured it out and sighed, "Grandpa." ”
Of course, Dane didn't know why he disappeared, and Cézanne had no intention of snatching the throne, and Forren and the imperial uncle worked together to suppress the news, and the only thing that could use Forlen's hands to spread this secret news through layers of blockades could only be the dead old man who was a good old man with Rex's means. This super old fox has always acted like he doesn't play according to the rules, and God knows what he's playing this time. Just as he stubbornly recruited Xu Zheng, a commoner, into the Samus Royalty, this old man withstood all the pressure and suspicion and settled the matter, and this time he must have made some waves in the middle.
Fu Lun also figured it out, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is Grandpa doing?"
Cézanne turned the pen in his hand, stopped and held it in his hand, and said, "I think I understood." ”
Got up and fumbled under the table for a while, then pulled out a small wooden box and handed it to Bruce.
Bruce opened it, glanced at it, and handed it to Xu Zheng, who couldn't laugh or cry when he looked at it.
There was a note in the wooden box, on which was Dane's handwriting, and it read: Brother, I will go out to rest for a while, and you will manage Cheng'an for me. Another: Summoning those little cubs back, any trouble can be solved.
The words and sentences are so simple and easy that they are almost like talking about common things. Seeing these words, Xu Zheng only felt that his previous anxiety and worry with Bruce were like a fist hitting the air with ten percent of his strength, and it was very uncomfortable.
"That's it?" Xu Zheng suddenly became a little angry.
"That's it. Cézanne said. "I was about to take a trip to Artemigon, which is on the southeast coast and produces something that sounds like something like rubber that Xu Zheng is talking about. I don't know what this thing is used for, but I heard Xu Zheng vaguely mention that it is very useful, so I want to go and see it. As a result, Dane issued an edict asking me to enter the palace quickly, and when I entered the palace, I received the one he left for me, as well as the heirloom seal, the king's crown, the scepter, everything that could show the identity of the king, he, the queen, and my father, all ran away without a trace. ”
Cézanne continued: "I was confused by the whole thing, and there was no clue before the incident. I was angry and angry, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and I was even more worried that Dane was being held hostage, wondering if he was safe, if he was hurt, or if he was hiding in some corner waiting for me to rescue him. After all, now the whole Cheng'an is glowing with a new image, big and small things are flourishing, from the previous ordinary small country is rapidly coming to the fore, very much the taste of the tree. An ordinary country that is not strong is about to rise rapidly like this, and our neighbors will definitely keep their eyes on it, although it is not surrounded by strong enemies, but the situation is not as calm as before. If they were to strike at Dane, it would not be impossible to hit us hard with a thunderous decapitation operation before the rapid development of Cheng'an sprouted. ”
"Then I slowly calmed down, no matter what, I must take over his work first, and the country cannot be left without a king for a day. Then I thought that whether it is Tusika or Chilian, the current monarch is not a reckless and brainless person, and they will not do this kind of brainless thing, because it will attract a counterattack under the overall fury of Cheng'an, we are no longer the Cheng'an of the past, and Cheng'an's national strength has more than doubled under Dane's efforts over the years. No matter who dares to make a move against Cheng'an, they must think carefully about the anger and counterattack from Cheng'an. ”
